Enum ContextDirection 

pub enum ContextDirection {
    ActingIn,
    Subtree,
    Any,
}

A DID’s authority to confer access through an approval, re-exported from the SDK.

The type lives in vta-sdk because the DIDComm and Trust Task update bodies carry it and must be constructible by clients that never link the server crates. Only the shape is shared — every authorization rule over it (validate_approve_scope_grant below) stays here. Same arrangement as crate::context_path. Which way a context filter reads along the context hierarchy.

A context id names a subtree, so “entries relevant to context X” is two questions, not one, and an answer is only meaningful paired with the direction being asked:

direction	question	predicate
ActingIn	who may act in X?	scope is X or an ancestor of it
Subtree	who holds a grant beneath X?	scope is X or a descendant of it
Any	whose authority touches X’s subtree?	either of the above

Only ActingIn existed until now, and a caller sweeping a subtree to revoke it got back exactly the entries it was not revoking (the ancestors keeping their authority) while every leaf-scoped grant it existed to cut was silently absent — an incomplete answer that looks like a complete one (#822).

ActingIn is the default, so an omitted parameter is today’s behaviour exactly. An unparseable value is refused rather than defaulted: guessing which question an operator meant is how the silent-wrong-answer failure returns.

Variants

ActingIn

Entries that may act in the context: scoped to it or to an ancestor of it. The historical (and default) behaviour of ?context=.

Subtree

Entries holding a grant at or beneath the context. The revocation- sweep and delegation-audit direction.

Any

The union — every entry whose act authority touches the context’s subtree in either direction. The auditor’s question.

Implementations

impl ContextDirection

pub const ALL: [ContextDirection; 3]

Every direction, in the order the operator-facing help lists them.

pub fn as_str(&self) -> &'static str

The wire spelling — identical to the serde representation, so the CLI, the query string, and the Trust Task payload cannot drift apart.
